"I am attracted to myths."

-- Tina Turner

“Strong and independent? Iâ€™m neither. Iâ€™m just being pushed along by reality, whether I like it or not.”
“As a Black woman filmmaker I feel thatâ€™s my job: visibility. And my preference within that job is Black subjectivity. Meaning Iâ€™m interested in the lives of Black folk as the subject. Not the predicate, not the tangent.[These stories] deserve to be told. Not as sociology, not as spectacle, not as a singular event that happens every so often, but regularly and purposefully as truth and as art on an ongoing basis, as do the stories of all the women you love.”
“The philosophy I shared... was one of ambition - ambition to succeed, ambition to grow, ambition to move forward - backed up by hard work.”
“Always wear cute pyjamas to bed, you'll never know who u will meet in your dreams.”
“There are certain standards, like the protection of minorities and the improvement in their lives that have to be improved now.”
“If my parents had made love a tenth of a second earlier or later, I wouldn't exist. What an enormous miracle, just being given life.”
“If you don't value your time, neither will others.”
“Forgiveness is man's deepest need and highest achievement.”
